dicated at 26,its pivotal mounting 27 being upon bracket 28 suitably secured upon the wall of the barrel. Its rear arm is provided with a head 29 adapted to make a closure of the vent aperture, by a rocking movement of said lever.

- At- 3Q is'indicated a coileds rin havin 3 ,j'one of its ends mounted upon. the rear armof lever 18,- its opposite end being'mounted upon the front arm of lever 26, and by operation of said spring: thedischarge port and vent aperture of the receptacle are caused to be normally closed, sothat the liqfso periphery of disk 222a Q .uidmay be confined within the receptacle.

Y At 31 is indicated a link having its rear end mounted upon the front arm of lever 26, the front end 'of thedink being mounted at 32 upon the disk, between operating arm 23 and pivot 24. At 33 is indicated a second link h aving one of its ends mounted upon the rear-arm of lever 18, its opposite end being mounteda t 34,

Itwill be seen that disk 22 operates as a rock-lever to -move links 31 and"33--in oppo- 'sitedirections, and since it is located be- -tween,,levers -18, and26 and is connected, therewith described, "the vent-aperture. and discharge port of the receptacle may be by moving the operating arm 23.

moved toward. 1 coiled spring, the disk moving in a direcopened or closed, coincidently or *in unison,

In operation, arm 23 may be manually the barrel, to expand the tion of the arrow. At this time the operator disposes the receptacle in an'inclined position,-that is say, it is .held so that the air vent will be disposedat a higher altitude than the-thrush end of the. recep-v taclef and upon opening the .ports' in the manner justdescribed, the liquid will pass out of port 15 and will flow'in channel. 14

upon the f brush; and a release of arm 23 9 fs'will result in the closure of ports 15 and 25, by compression of the spring. I

The dispensing receptacle provides a i very convenient article for tinnersuse, and

: it may be disposed in any position, ordinarily, without-loss of itscontents. Any suitable means maybe provided for locking, the disk, so that when'placed in exposed positions and not in, use, the disk may not be accidentally rotated to cause a loss of the liquid. For this purpose a notch 35 may be formed in the periphery .mounted in and transversely upon and near the discharge port. I-.

of the disk and a slide or'bar 36, mounted in guides 37, may be employed, the guides being mounted upon the wall of the receptacle; and when using the receptacle, the

slide may be withdrawn from the notch.

At 38' .is indicated a hood, guard or shield, consisting of a'transversely curved plate mounted upon the receptacle and'disposed to overhang the /spr1ng, rock-lever and link, so that these parts Will-11013 be obtrusive, during operation, v

Since the liquid resin'in hot weather will flow morefreely than at other times, and

would move upon the brush in too great a quantity, a control is provided'forthe movement of the liquid, consisting of the sleeve or barrel 39, having an intake 40 and -an exit port 41. When -the"barrel is 'of the receptacle, its intake port will be in communication with the containing chamber of the receptacle, and its exitport will register with the discharge-port 15 thereof. A screwplug 42 formed with a groove 43 may have a threaded connection with and'a mounting in the barrel.

Groove 43 opens upon the exit portand when the plug is partly rotated, the intake may, be ;partly obstructed I by the, blank portion :22. of the screw-plug, and when partly obstructed in this mannerthe fiow willbe restricted.

'It is desirable that'thebrush may be readilyinserted or'removed whenever necand for this purpose and to prevent the liquid contents from moving out of the 'socket'or'opening 12, a partition 44 is em :ployed in the tapered portion 11, at the ;.front of the barrel;

ess ary Havmg fully described the several parts and their uses, a further explanation relatin'g to operation isnot necessary.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

'1.- In combination with a cylindrical re-- ceptacle having a tapered end ortion formed with'a discharge port in its side 'wall; "a brushremovably mounted upon and projecting forwardly of said end portion; a disk mounted upon the receptacle;

arock-lever provided with a head-member adapted to normally bear upon" the tapered. end portion to make 'a' closure of said discharge port; a link mounted upon the disk and connected with the rock-lever; said disk adapted to have a part rotation, one of -1ts movements causing afremoval of the head-member from its. bearing upon the wall ofs'aidend poition, for 'openmg said dispensingreceptacle comprising a barrel provided with event aperture and formed port and a channel opening upon said d scharge port;.a brushmounted upon sald with a' tapered end portion, 'said. end portion being formed-with a dischar e.

tapered end portion adjacent to said channel; resiliently mounted levers having heads adapted to normally cover'the vent aperture and discharge port; and'means to coincidently remove the heads of said levers from said discharge port and vent aperture. v

3. In combination with a cylindrical recepta'cle formed with a vent aperture and having a tapered end portion with a discharge port; a brush 'removably mounted upon and projecting forwardly of said end portion; a first rock-lever provided with a head-memberv adapted to normally bear upon the tapered end portion to make a closure of said discharge port; a second I rock-lever provided with a head-member adapted to normally bear upon the receptacle to make a closure of the vent aperture; a disk mounted upon the receptacle and connected with said rock-levers, said disk adapted to have a part rotation, one of its movements causing a removal of the head-members from their respective bearings for opening said vent aperture and discharge port.

4. An article for the purpose described, comprising a cylindrical container pro vided. with a. vent aperture and formed with a tapered end portion, said end portion being formed with a discharge port port; a brush mounted upon said tapered end portion adjacent to said channel; rocklevers having heads. adapted to normally cover the vent aperture and discharge port;

means to coincid'ently move said rocklevers to remove the heads of said levers from said discharge port and vent aperture; and a transversely curved hood disposed longitudinally of and partly circumscribing said container; l

' 5. An articlefor the purpose described, comprising an elongated receptacle provided with a vent aperture, and having an end portion with an outwardly-convergent wall forming a crescent-shaped opening at its terminal, said wall being formed with a discharge port and having a longitudinal channel extending from its terminal to said discharge port; a crescent-shaped casing provided with a brush and adapted to be Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of ratents, Washington, D.
